Liaised via your chemist if you have made this arrangement. You tell the chemist you need a repeat prescription, then they tell us, and we issue the prescription. This obviously takes slightly longer

Please ensure that you include your name, date of birth, contact number and the medication(s) you require on all requests.

You can collect the completed prescription:

In person by asking at the desk

If you give us a stamped addressed envelope we will send the prescription back to you, (please allow adequate posting time)

If you have an arrangement with a chemist they will collect the prescription for you

We need a minimum of 2 working days to process a routine repeat prescription request. New or non-routine repeat prescriptions, for example medication you have been prescribed in hospital, may take a little longer.

Private Prescriptions

Please note that we can issue non-NHS prescriptions via a private script, this may be following a private consultation with a non NHS Clinician or transcription of a foreign prescription. A standard fee of £30 maybe charged at the Clinicians discretion.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS Prescription Costs

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

Current prescription charge: £8.80 per item (£17.60 per pair of elastic hosiery)

What services do Pharmacies offer?

Pharmacists dispense prescriptions and other medicines, offer testing and screening for common conditions, and can advise on minor ailments. Not all pharmacies supply the same services and depend on NHS priorities in that area.

Many pharmacies provide a repeat medication service where the can order and collect prescriptions on your behalf and deliver to your home if you are unable to collect them yourself. For more information and how to sign up, please contact your local pharmacy.
